What more of a full story are you after ?

Sitting talking to my brother across a bench table in the back garden,
suddenly felt the bugger sting me

More information on where it stung you? As you are obviously avoiding that
I suspect it became inadvertantly trapped between you and something else
and was about to be crushed.

That's what happened when I got stung by a wasp, it got up a loose T shirt
sleeve when my arm was raised. When I lowered my arm it was trapped in the
edge of my arm pit, it stung in self defence to avoid being squidged. It
worked I lfted my arm and it flew away...
